Well here it is, the last day of November. Now for December with its glitter and sparkly lights and lots of homemade loveliness. 

I do have to admit that I have been Christmas crafting for some time now, getting ready to try my luck with a couple of Christmas Fayres and making lots of gifts made with love for family and friends.

 

I have hooked up a whole snowstorm of these gorgeous snowflakes from the pattern by Lucy at Attic24, I plan to hang them on my tree and use them to decorate gifts.

 

 

 

I've also enjoyed making lots of these mini stockings, I saw a pattern in a magazine for large stockings and just messed about with the stich count until I got it to the size I wanted. I have made them in different yarns and different sizes. I was hoping to have enough made for an advent calendar but kept giving them away to friends!

For everyone who still puts an apple and orange in the Christmas stockings, these cosies make them look a lot more special (and if you're not into fruit a chocolate orange also fits quite nicely) The pattern for these were in issue 1 of Mollie Makes magazine.

A little more recent is this gorgeous holy pattern in issue 12 of Simply Crochet. Think I might add these to the Christmas jumper I need to decorate for work.

And I mustn't forget to finish my Christmas bunting from Inside Crochet.

There are just so many lovely Christmas projects to be getting on with!
